MY FAVORITE SNACKS FOR RUNNING FUEL

These are a few of My Favorite Snacks for Running Fuel. If you’re serious about running, you need to put as much thought into the foods you consume as you do your workouts. Running alone will only get you so far, you need nutrients and, yes, calories. Try the recipes and foods below to see what works best for you. I enjoy these pre-run, post-run, and for snacks.

These foods are ideas of healthy snacks that can supply you with the energy you need to run your best. Most are portable. Sometimes I need to run errands before I go home after a run. As well, really, who wants to make something right after an exhausting long run?

In addition to the ideas pictured below, try also

Raisins and other dried fruit
